In case you missed out on Black Friday deals this year, there’s still a chance to grab some decent deals on Cyber Monday. The one-day sale event features deals across large number of technology stores in the US. Below are some of the best deals we could find from this year’s Cyber Monday sale.

Walmart’s Cyber Monday deal allows you to get a $100 discount on the Microsoft Surface 3 tablet. You can grab the device for as low as $499 (Rs. 33,298), excluding shipping and import duties. The Surface Pro 3 is powered by Intel’s Atom x7 quad-core processor, supported by 4GB of RAM. It runs Windows 10 out of the box. The on-board memory on the tablet is 128GB.
